Rent & eviction protection

Is 556-558 Natoma St rent-controlled?

San Francisco's Rent Ordinance caps rent increases and provides eviction protection for most residential units built before 1979 with 2+ units. Here's how this building scores.

Built 1911
2 or more units

Statewide backstop · AB 1482

California Tenant Protection Act of 2019

Even when a building isn't covered by local rent stabilization, the statewide Tenant Protection Act (AB 1482) may still apply. It caps annual rent increases and requires the landlord to state a legal reason to end most tenancies.

15+ years since occupancy
Built 1911
Annual rent increase cap
5% + CPI, max 10%
Just-cause eviction
After 12 months
Local rent control likely takes priority. This building appears to fall under the local ordinance above, which is stronger than AB 1482. Where a local just-cause ordinance applies, its rules govern instead of the state cap.

AB 1482 does not apply to single-family homes and condos unless owned by a corporation, REIT, or an LLC with a corporate member; to owner-occupied duplexes; or to deed-restricted affordable housing. The Act is in effect until January 1, 2030. Not legal advice — see the California landlord–tenant guide.

Initial analysis

The three-unit multi-family residential building at 556-558 Natoma Street in the South of Market neighborhood, owned by Mary Stadlberger Bypass Tr, was constructed in 1911 and stands three stories tall. The building has experienced several significant events throughout its history, most notably a fire incident in 1986 that required repairs to the rear of the building. In 2004, the property underwent a series of corrections following health and safety inspections, including repairs to deteriorated landing boards at the top landing of the exterior rear stairs and the installation of a self-closing device on the front security gate - all violations were abated by February 23, 2004. The building has also been subject to routine safety inspections in 2008 and 2011, both of which were closed without any active violations.

Recent records from 2023-2024 show multiple 311 calls in the vicinity of the building, primarily related to street cleaning and parking enforcement issues, including reports of human/animal waste on sidewalks, illegal parking, and two encampments in 2024. The building has had four fire department responses on record, but all were either related to smoke scares, false alarms, or hazardous conditions with no civilian injuries reported. A street space permit was issued in September 2019, though the cost was nominal ($1.00). The property is classified as a Flats & Duplex building under the Multi-Family Residential use code.

Risk rating

How 556-558 Natoma St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Lower risk — safer than most nearby

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Typical — about average for the neighborhood

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Higher risk — riskier than most nearby

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile
78thpercentile

Out of 430 buildings in this neighborhood, 95 are predicted to be safer. The band is relative to this neighborhood, so a share of every neighborhood falls in each colour.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Building size

Total floor area — a proxy for building scale and the number of systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) that can fail.

Neighborhood location

Precise location is a proxy for neighborhood-level risk — some SF blocks have systematically higher DBI activity.
